hum sab ki yaadon mein hai ek sabz-daricha
jis mein rakkha hai gul-dan

is gul-dan mein ab tak taza phul saje hain
phulon mein do aankhen hain

jo mazi ki tarik guzargahon mein
jaise shamen ban kar raushan hain

un aankhon aur hum logon mein
ab waqt ka sahra hail hai

dur hain lekin ye aankhen har lamha dekhti rahti hain
hum kaise hain kis des mein hain

kis bhes mein hain kin logon mein hain
kaun hamein khushiyan deta hai kaun hamein gham deta hai

un se bichhad ke kis se mile
aur kis se hue hum log juda

dukh mein aur tanhai mein wo kaun tha jis ko yaad kiya
hum roen to aaj bhi jaise ye aankhen ro deti hain

hum khush hon to ye bhi khush ho jati hain
in aankhon ka hamein sahaara rahta hai

jaise musafir dasht mein ho
to us ka sathi us par raushan ek sitara rahta hai

lekin hum logon ke dil ye soch ke akasr kanp uthte hain
jab ye aankhen bujh jaengi

sabz-daricha ho jaega band to aakhir kya hoga
